- The Road I'm On
So this is the road I’m on.
It winds to the horizon, and continues through to tomorrow……Take the road I walk on
Take the seasons that have gone
Take the anchors I lost at sea
Take the storms that live in me
Take the words I could not say
The meaning I can’t convey
Take the burdens from my heart
Take the sorrows from the start
Take the places that I’ve been
Take the tattoos off my skin
Take the lanterns down the trails
Find the truth inside the tales
Take the shadows from my eyes
Take the sun that lights up the skies
Take the memories I can’t replay
and let them all just fade away
Take the harness holding me
Take the reins and set me free
Take the chilling winds away
Take me home again I pray
Take the rainbows from my smile
And hide them in your heart awhile
Take the comforts I push away
And bring me solace everyday
Take the shadows from my eyes
And take the sun up there in the skies
Take the memories I can’t replay
And let them all just fade away
Take the harness holding me
Take the reins and set me free
Take the chilling winds away
And Take me home again I pray
Take the rainbows from the skies
I’ll hold them in my heart awhile
Take the comforts I pushed away
And bring me solace everyday
Let em' fade away

Enter the Woods This album was recorded “live off the floor” in March 2023 at The IsoNest, North Vancouver.
It includes a few wee tics, pops and hisses that a “live” recording can reveal. I didn’t want to compromise the feel to edit out any small glitch.
It’s just a few microphones, a voice and an acoustic guitar,
The way these tunes were conceived.
I’ve played many of these songs over the years in various bands with different arrangements and recordings, but this is back to the Woods!

*Bright Star Of Belle Isle is a traditional Irish/Canadian lyric, I wrote the music.
*Ring Some Changes was written by Richard Thompson
I wrote the rest. Hope you enjoy them.
Cheers, J.
